(Simple?) probability question

I'm just starting a new module of probability, and I get the sense that these are supposed to be revision questions, but I don't seem to be able to work it out. :S

If X and Y are uniformly distributed continuous random variables on (0,1), then how would I work out P(X^2 + Y^2 <= 1)?

I've looked through all my past probability work and lecture examples and I can't find anything similar. I know that P(X <= x) = x and P(Y <= y) = y, but how can you combine these, since they depend on each other?

Thanks for any and all help!

Well, first you want to identify that is a disc of radius centered at the origin. Next we observe that the uniform distribution is over the area . So, we are interested in the intersection of these areas, which is the quarter disc in the first quadrant.

Now, clearly the pdfs of and are both . So if is the region in question, then

,

which we do not actually need to integrate, since we know that the area of a quarter disc with radius is .
